    Chapter 531 “The fight was just kids being kids. Plus, it was an ident. We will take good care of


    Sonny and keep him from harm’s way when we get custody.”

    Mrs. Brown heartachingly said, “Hank, don’t go with the divorce. I can’t take it.”


    It never crossed her mind that fights between children could influence decisions on a child’s custody.


    Despite Mrs. Brown’s old age, she had never seen anyone take their divorce to court. In the


    separations that she came across, the women would pack their things and walk out, leaving the house,


    car, and children to the men.


    “Sure, it was just a fight between children, but people would see Sonny living with us as whether it’s


    conducive to his growth and well-being.” Hank patiently persuaded his parents. “Mom, I don’t love


    Liberty anymore. It’s not like Liberty would take me back either. You can’t make things work just by


    force. It would be hard for her and me at this rate. Besides, Liberty‘s willing to settle. The divorce is


    going to happen. “I’ve made up my mind, and I only came back to let you know.” Jessica was right. It


    was best if Hank made the decision for the matter between him and Liberty. It was good enough that he


    let his parents in the loops. With the sobs underway, Mrs. Brown smacked her husband. “Say


    something, old man! No, I must give Chelsea a call, and get her to talk some sense into you.” She was


    about to give her daughter a call when her husband stopped her. “Telling Chelsea will only make the


    matter worse.”


    Mr. Brown peevishly remarked before asking his son, “Is divorce the only way? Are those pictures that


    big of a threat to you?”


    He understood his son best. His son would notpromise and go with Liberty’s way unless he was


    under threat. “Dad, my career is done for if Liberty hands over the stuff to my boss. It doesn’t sound like


    a bad deal if I can end a loveless marriage and safeguard my future.” Mr. Brown fell silent.


    Mrs. Brownshed out. “Liberty went too far. What will she gain by destroying your future?


    “She’s trying to get back at me since I didn‘t go easy on her. I lose out far worse than her because she


    has nothing to lose.”


    Mrs. Brown cursed her heart out.


    She went from criticizing Liberty for going overboard, childing her son for his failure to keep it in his


    pants, to sting Jessica about being the other woman anding in between her son’s marriage.


    Now her son and daughter–inw were splitting and dividing the estate.


    “Mom, it‘s not Jessica’s fault. I fell for her first.” Hank could not stand her mother speaking ill of Jessica.


    His feelings for Jessica grew before hers did for him.


    “Mom, Dad, think about it. I wouldn‘t be enjoying this sort of ie if I were to work in another


    company. Although I‘ll feel the pinch for giving Liberty a million bucks, I can regain the amount and


    more with my job still intact.


    “Liberty will petition the court for divorce if I don’t agree to her demands. She’ll get whatever she


    demands anyway, but I‘ll lose my job and my reputation in the industry. It‘ll be hard for me to look for


    another job. I agreed to Liberty’s terms after careful consideration.


    “Don’t worry about Sonny. Sonny will still be your grandson after the divorce. Just let Liberty know


    when you want to see him. She’s fine with visitations.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown held their tongues. Her


    son’s career was more important than anything else. They knew it had not been easy for their son as


    he had worked his way up from a measly office staff to his current role as a manager. The side ie


    he earned in a month was the annual ie of many. It took a while before Mr. Brown solemnly said,


    “There‘s nothing more we can say since you’ve already made up your mind.”
